pEDHOWE ON BUSINESS
MJ Bd Howe has done JJir book, a little one that JTjin sUp into your coat- 2git, IU title U. "The Bless. JTJi Business." And It Is
Q to choke-full of sound, ^^ plugtobacco phlloso- ^^Ijoiely and homy. If JU'iic tooklng for literature Taw Atlantic Monthly, or !^iaievtki, or Hindu Esoteric, g fUti Thought, or Art Studio ^ilities, pass on. Here are ^ plain boiled beef and gjlMie; mighty wholesome ^IflUlng. but In no wise
sney- Ibeie's a good desl left out iffd*! makeup. In the way of lUtry and vague thrills and li^hing. but what ts In him ^lUbooest-to-goodness nwt-
«bl-
Wbat he strives to say in g^ edame Is that the Bust- mn uan ts the best product DMt America has evolved.
Buiiness Is food-getting; all „llgton, edueaUon. art, and igUtles are secondary to it; igr without Life (which Bust- giH maintains) we should ^ neither Uterature nor sal-
isMon.
"Of living creatures, busl- pM men are the nearest nne," he says; and while they ^re Ideals, as the poets have, H^ also know what the poets «»not, "how these ideals may m|iy be made professional and mischievous."
John D. Rockefeller he be- jltres to be the most useful nMU who has ever lived, be- ftaa of the Rockefeller Poun« ^on, which will devote four or ttve million dollars a year to human betterment as long M the world endures.
It Is as snobbish to auppose tiist character may not ac> eiBtpany riches as to beUeve that a man U to be despised biasuse he ia poor. "Tbt talk llist the greater tht rogut tba psater the fortune, originated «lih thieves."
Ibe statues to public parks anl the heads on postage> Ssfflpi, he thinks, ought to be tf aseful business men, and ost ststesmen, warriors, and poets.
"Nearly every man who ac- aamulatea a surplus." he in' rists. "finally accumulates also a disposition to help the weak." and the great charit¬ able IniUtutions of the world art due to this.
1 tbe onlir laws of prlvUaga tohave tn the United Statea, ll claims, are "laws favoring Bi poor, and discriminating iptnst the successful."
"The men who succeed are aisrly always forceful and Mtful characters: they stand •ril everywhere, except in lit- «ature."
"It Is absurd to say a man ts bom a gentleman." he says; ImtiUty ta an acquirement, Uke an education, or ability to play on a musical inatrument."
And he does not write as a Itch man: he himself is a worker. He says: "I am not s rich man. and never will be: I would feel as uncomfortable to a palace as in a hovel, but I am not a toady. Nearly «wr>-body dislikes a particul- trly rich and noted man, and I eonfesa I do. I am of the •pinion that the rich should be threatened sufficiently to beep them modest, but I have netrer believed they are less •looest, patriotic, fair or useful thsn I am "

C, F. Martin, president of the lo¬ cal school board, was the speaker and discussed the proposed new school code of the state. The code was outlined by the speaker as af¬ fecting districts of 10,000 population or less.

trict would include Upper Naaareth towiwhip. Lower Nazareth. Buah¬ klll and Nazareth and would cbanB* the present sUndard of salaries and also the status of the entire diatriet lowering the present aebolastta standards. It would givt the diatriet au opportunity for sn eight month school term and place It practically In a class with present rural dia- trlcta. The state approprlatioQ would also be cut and would meaa that the district would receive aa annual appropriation of $$00 per teacher instead of $350, now beinc received.

The board also adopted a resolu¬ tion reading as follows: Resolved that the Nazareth school board stands opposed to the adoption of ths new school code now pending action at Harrisburg; there are soma excellent features in the propoaed oode. however, the drastic program of consolidation contempUted under it does not offer material economy benefits: it Involves the combina¬ tion of rural and urban dUtrtcta whicn will further complicate tha difficult problems already confront¬ ing us In the maintenance of a high standard of education: under pre¬ sent economic conditions; it ap¬ pears that equalisation of education¬ al opponuniti»s Ls Intended to be achieved largely at the expenae of districts now in the third class with le>,s than ten thousand population: and resolved that we stand opposed to any reduction of state aid: and it is further resolved that we favor emergency legislation amending the present school code which at least will temporarily relieve a portion of the local tax burden on real est¬ ate,

Wbat he strives to say in g^ edame Is that the Bust- mn uan ts the best product DMt America has evolved.
Buiiness Is food-getting; all „llgton, edueaUon. art, and igUtles are secondary to it; igr without Life (which Bust- giH maintains) we should ^ neither Uterature nor sal-
isMon.
"Of living creatures, busl- pM men are the nearest nne," he says; and while they ^re Ideals, as the poets have, H^ also know what the poets «»not, "how these ideals may m|iy be made professional and mischievous."
John D. Rockefeller he be- jltres to be the most useful nMU who has ever lived, be- ftaa of the Rockefeller Poun« ^on, which will devote four or ttve million dollars a year to human betterment as long M the world endures.
It Is as snobbish to auppose tiist character may not ac> eiBtpany riches as to beUeve that a man U to be despised biasuse he ia poor. "Tbt talk llist the greater tht rogut tba psater the fortune, originated «lih thieves."

"Nearly every man who ac- aamulatea a surplus." he in' rists. "finally accumulates also a disposition to help the weak." and the great charit¬ able IniUtutions of the world art due to this.
1 tbe onlir laws of prlvUaga tohave tn the United Statea, ll claims, are "laws favoring Bi poor, and discriminating iptnst the successful."
"The men who succeed are aisrly always forceful and Mtful characters: they stand •ril everywhere, except in lit- «ature."
"It Is absurd to say a man ts bom a gentleman." he says; ImtiUty ta an acquirement, Uke an education, or ability to play on a musical inatrument."
And he does not write as a Itch man: he himself is a worker. He says: "I am not s rich man. and never will be: I would feel as uncomfortable to a palace as in a hovel, but I am not a toady. Nearly «wr>-body dislikes a particul- trly rich and noted man, and I eonfesa I do. I am of the •pinion that the rich should be threatened sufficiently to beep them modest, but I have netrer believed they are less •looest, patriotic, fair or useful thsn I am "

C, F. Martin, president of the lo¬ cal school board, was the speaker and discussed the proposed new school code of the state. The code was outlined by the speaker as af¬ fecting districts of 10,000 population or less. Locally it would mean that Nazareth would become a fourth class school district instead of third class as it Is at present. The dis¬
trict would include Upper Naaareth towiwhip. Lower Nazareth. Buah¬ klll and Nazareth and would cbanB* the present sUndard of salaries and also the status of the entire diatriet lowering the present aebolastta standards. It would givt the diatriet au opportunity for sn eight month school term and place It practically In a class with present rural dia- trlcta. The state approprlatioQ would also be cut and would meaa that the district would receive aa annual appropriation of $$00 per teacher instead of $350, now beinc received.
The as.sociation adopted a reaotu- ticm opposing the paasagt Ol auch • code and directed the secretary. Mra. Ralph Fry. to at once so inform tht representative In the Btate Legisla¬ ture.
